Hi there, Can you tell me the difference between "have somebody doing sth" and "get somebody doing sth"? Where do we use these causative structures? |

I think there is no great difference.
In my opinion both expressions are synonyms of "make someone do something". |

have someone do something= you just arrange someone to do it. it doesnt matter if that person would do it voluntarily or not. =birisine birseyi yaptiriyorsun.
get someone to do something= you ask or persuade someone to do it= birisini birseyi yapmasi icin ikna ediyorsun.
this is what I was taught back in high school and also what I found online.
